Re: STRINGY CHEESY GOODNESS! utter dreck |
I have to agree with the majority about "Rollover". It is not the best example of the talent of SCI. For what I consider to be a much better representation you might try a little of the 7/27/07 show from the Greek(SCI was the "headliner")
http://www.archive.org/details/sci2007-07-22.sci2007-07-22.flac and if you want to hear the real "meat and potatoes from that show...
Hot Butter Rum String Band(now known as simply Hot Butter Rum...they opened the show)...
http://www.archive.org/details/hbr2007-07-22.U873Rsc.flac16fAnd then sandwiched between Rum & Cheese was Railroad Earth(they stole the show)...
http://www.archive.org/details/rre2007-07-22.AKG481-ACM-PMD671Nershi led SCI was much better than Kang led.
And now Nershi is playing with one of the best bass players(with a couple of notable exceptions..Lesh being one) touring today, the incomparable Johnny Grubb(late of RRE).

"Nershi led SCI was much better than Kang led."
Couldn't agree with this statement more. Kang pushed the band in a terrible direction imo - injecting trace and techo influences into their sound which I find repetitive and of little musical value other than to 'just dance.' (Just listen to Kang's side project EOTO - unlistenable - again this is imo.). By the end of their "retirement" in 2007 i was getting pretty disillusioned with them.
I think since they've come back it seems like they've backed off of this sound a bit and moved towards more of a compromise. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised in December when I see them in Chicago.

EOTO is the side project for Cheese drummer and percussionist Michael Travis and Jason Hann. Free form electronica-percussion trance dance jam stuff.
Particularly icky for old guys like me. Barely acceptable after a dozen Sierra Nevadas.
Pangea with Chris Berry is Kang's side effort. Much better than EOTO IMO.
